Scrap, Shared Materials and Recycling

The free shelf

  • Everything on the free shelf is free to anyone who wants it.
  • Have something you want to pass on to a good home? Put it on the shelf.
  • Anything that sits there for more than two months is moved to long-term storage or donated.
  • The free shelf is not a lost and found.

Scrap

  • Shop scrap is available to members with a paid Monthly or Annual membership. It is off-limits during the introductory period.
  • Do not use shop scrap for products you sell. See Making Things to Sell.

To be confirmed: where the scrap bins are for each material (wood, metal, acrylic) and any size rules for what is worth keeping.

Unlabeled items

Anything left in the space without a name on it is considered community property and may be used, moved or repurposed. If you want to keep something, label it with your name and the date. See the Storage Policy.

Aluminum can recycling

Drop aluminum cans in the can recycling bin near the lockers. All proceeds benefit the makerspace and help fund tools, materials and workshops.
